I am not sure if I am posting this question on the correct message board, so shoot me down if not!<br>I was wondering if anyone knows of any auditing software. I need to create a list of IP addresses/identification names/applications installed/operating system/serial numbers etc etc. I was looking for something that could be ran automatically over our network, maybe using Novell login scripts or something. I have about 600 PC's to audit, and am not about to walk round all of them with a pen and paper!<br><br>Thanks - Darren

Since it appears you are running Novell, have you tried ZEN Works at all?&nbsp;&nbsp;I haven't gotten to even look at that in a year or so, but thought it could do the same things as SMS does on a Microsoft Network (SMS can do hardware/software inventory pretty well.)<br><br>Hope this helps,<br>Paul Kincaid

we use Bindview (BV Audit) where I work.&nbsp;&nbsp;It does pretty much everything that you listed.&nbsp;&nbsp;It keeps track of user login ID, files, installed software, operating system, the S/N of the BIOS of the cpu, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have it set to run automatically when the user logs in.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have 650+ users in our building and it does a pretty good job.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus we can tell if user's are installing software on their own.&nbsp;&nbsp;I do believe that sometime in the future we are switching to ZEN though.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope this helps

We are transitioning to ZENWorks from LANDesk to accomplish what you ask, plus much much more.&nbsp;&nbsp;ZENWorks should do everything you want plus add workstation lockdown, remote administration, some monitoring, and software deployment (no I don't work for Netware).&nbsp;&nbsp;The best part is it is integrated into the NDS tree.&nbsp;&nbsp;Check it out at <A HREF="

only thing is to run inventory you need to be running the clients on IP (so you have to have Novell 5x).
